imgui

ocornut/imgui · ★ 76.7K

Dear ImGui is a bloat-free graphical user interface library for C++ that outputs optimized vertex buffers you render in your own 3D-pipeline-enabled application. It is aimed at tooling, debug UIs, and visualization rather than end-user application UIs.

stable-diffusion.cpp

leejet/stable-diffusion.cpp · ★ 7.7K

A pure C/C++ inference engine for diffusion models like Stable Diffusion, Flux, Wan, Qwen Image, and Z-Image, built the same way as llama.cpp so you can generate images and videos without heavy Python dependencies.

CppCoreGuidelines

isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines · ★ 45.4K

The C++ Core Guidelines are a collaborative set of best-practice rules for writing modern C++ (C++11 and later), covering interfaces, resource management, memory management, and concurrency, with the goal of making code type-safe, leak-free, and fast.

modern-cpp-features

AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features · ★ 21.9K

A cheatsheet listing and explaining the new language and library features introduced in each modern C++ standard: C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20, and C++23.

    thrift

    11Kapache/thrift · C++

    Apache Thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack for building RPC clients and servers. It generates code from a single interface definition file so programs written in different languages can call each other's procedures and share data.

    CppTemplateTutorial

    10.6Kwuye9036/CppTemplateTutorial · C++

    A Chinese-language, in-depth tutorial on C++ templates that treats templates as a self-contained, Turing-complete language, aiming to help readers fully internalize template metaprogramming rather than just memorize syntax.

    cppinsights

    4.7Kandreasfertig/cppinsights · C++

    C++ Insights is a Clang-based source-to-source transformation tool that shows C++ code the way the compiler actually sees it, revealing implicit things like compiler-generated special member functions, implicit casts, and what lambdas, range-based for-loops, or auto/decltype actually expand to.
